Make fixed layout 100% wide when printing

When you have chosen the fixed layout, the fixed layout stays also on the printed pages, which can mess it up. I therefor suggest adding the id's and classes from the layout-fixed.css/layout-fixed-rtl.css which have a fixed width to the section "/* Un-float the content */".

I was also thinking about if it would be a better idea to have the fixed stylesheet only be loaded on media screen(/projection) and not on all (and therefor also on the print). Do you think this Will be a solution?

Haven't made a patch before, but I can figure it out I guess. But maybe first agree on which solution is best..? :)

I read the articles about patches; though I used the Windows GUI tool rather than the commands there, so I hope I did everything correct. But as far as I understand, I have committed the patches (one for the STARTERKIT/css/print.css and one for zen-internals/css/print.css).

Hmm, no – I thought I had sent it through Git. If I go to my Git GUI > Repository > Visualize 7.3-3.x's History, it looks like this: http://screencast.com/t/MDSiUMiunSrz with my two commits on the top.

kristofer, those changes exist only in the copy of the repository on your computer. That's a big difference between distributed version control systems like Git, Mercurial and Bazaar, and centralized ones like CVS or SVN. If you had the proper permissions, you could push those changes to the repository on Drupal.org, at which time they'd become available to everyone; but right now only you can see them. If you don't have push permissions, you must create a patch which contains the changes you've made in your repository. [See this page for more information](http://drupal.org/node/707484).
